The formatted display of fractional measurements in Excel leaves a lot to be desired. This example and the formulas shown below were generously provided by Bernie Deitrick as a follow-up to a posting 2000-08-04 in the microsoft.public.excel.misc newsgroup. Bernie's formulas will be simplified after comments from Harlan Grove and corrections from by Ron Rosenberg on 2003-01-03
The corrections to be made will allow the numbers to be treated arithmetically, though they are being formatted strictly for display. The other formulas showing mixed feet, inches and fractional inches will still requidre something more than these simplified formulas, and will be text to allow feet and inch marks to appear next to figures even if strictly Feet and fractional feet.
I believe the formula on this page will need some revision based on the following advice by Ron Rosenberg on 2003-01-26---------------- Examples for 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 -----------

I'm at the edges of my technical expertise here, so you may want to wait for Steve Shepard, the developer, to weigh in, especially if you're new to Macs.

Preparation of Data on this Page
A second sheet was copied from the original Excel spreadsheet supplied by Bernie and the formulas used were displayed as follows: A12: B2
B12: (pasted from B2)
C12: =GetFormula(indirect(A12))
The original section was converted to HTML with XL2HTMLX, and the formulas section was converted to HTML with XL2HTML with macros described on my HTML page.
